OUCH! Brutal pick-six by Alford with New England driving. 21-0. It might well be over already with 2:21 left in the 2nd quarter.

HALFTIME: 21-3, Atlanta. The silver lining is that if Tom Brady leads an all-time Super Bowl comeback, he'll ice his reputation as the Greatest of All Time. But it is looking increasingly likely as if Joe Montana will retain that status.

Two things that surpised me:The betting line opened at Pats by 3 - and it didn't move.And until now, the over/under was 58 1/2 down to 56 1/2.Usually the o/u does not move and the line does.BTW, streaming (US) is: https://www.foxsportsgo.com/event/156815/super-bowl-li-patriots-vs-falcons

When do we get some affirmative action in basketball and football. Blacks are grossly over-represented. We need some mexicans, Asians and whites in these leagues to ensure we have proper cultural representation!!!

Which is to say the Jarheads on the Rock get a three day weekend for the Superbowl.

You see Superbowl Sunday is Superbowl Monday in Japan the game started at 8:30 in the morning there and nothing got done until the game was over. Consequently the Marine Corps just shut down there on Superbowl Monday.

The chowhalls put on a special brunch. They really go all out...for the chowhalls.

Actually it was pretty fun because it was one of the few holidays where you weren't feeling homesick. Christmas and Thanksgiving always kind of sucked because no one could afford a ticket home for them.

Something over a dozen years ago, I knew a cable TV technician (this was in Minnesota). Every year at Super Bowl time, he would make a list of a few customers who were behind on their bill enough to justify disconnection. Several hours before the game started, he would (on his own time) drive around to their addresses, til he spotted one that (going by the plethora of parked cars outside) was clearly having a Super Bowl party. Then, he would WAIT until about 30 seconds before the kickoff, then disconnect their cable (and haul *ss). I don't give a rat's posterior about football, or indeed any spectator sport in which I, or someone I know personally, is not a participant, so I found this hilarious. I wonder if any of the parties he shut down just seamlessly switched over to poetry recitals?

Straight down 45 from DFW all the way to 610 then west to TC Jester. Traffic wasn't even as bad as other times I've been down there. Coming back once we passed where 261 hits 45 there was a dozen of just cruising down the left lane at 80mph.

Not watching it after the Steelers crapped the bed in Foxborough two weeks ago. And from the sound of things, I'm not really missing much of anything. I guess the only good thing coming out of Houston is the fact the Failcons are beating the living piss out of the Gheytriots.

I don't care if Brady is friends with the God-Emperor; he attended school in The Whore, and that's all he'll ever be.

And VD, I disagree that Montana is the GOAT. I'd put Bradshaw in that category, because he won back-to-back games...TWICE. And was the first to win four games. Both he and Montana get the nod because they're a perfect 4-0 on their trips to the game.

If Brady keeps it up, he's 4-3, which will be a lousy 0.571 record. The fact that he's currently 0.667 takes him out of the GOAT discussion completely. He should have beat Eli both times he lost.

Alfa Romeo sponsorship is puzzling... and what the devil does 84 Lumber have to do with a Mexican waif picking up trash, and why should I care about the rest of the story? Assuming these ads go through umpteen levels of approval and testing, yet so many come off as peripheral and pretentious. It's similar to media's bubble disconnect.

I vacuumed the carpet during most of the LG show. Stopped when I saw her at the piano, thought maybe she'd do something different like I've seen her solo on TV before showcasing her ivory and pipes skillz. No such luck, straight back to pop slop.

Damn, didn't expect the BradyChick parade to get rained on so hard. Still, sometimes they don't wake up until the 4th and they are still 2 scores behind.

To be fair, they had prefaced that with black athletes from Historically Black Colleges. They want to separate and form an ethnic enclave in America. Seems like it's reasonable for them to finally accept the Atlanta Compromise with the Falcons in the Super Bowl.
